Aneela, we use UTC for this competition, not local time.

However, I think the rules might not be clear to everyone. Rule #3 states

Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 00:00 UTC of the end date.


According to Wikipedia this is a precise statement, as 00:00 means the beginning of the day. However, not everybody is familiar with this convention and "00:00 UTC on Wednesday" might be ambiguous: it can mean either Tuesday/Wednesday night, or Wednesday/Thursday night.

I think we should clarify that the competition starts and ends at 00:00 UTC on Tuesday/Wednesday night, in order to avoid any ambiguity.

As you can see, Aneela, you are late even in your local time, as it is Wednesday where you live.
